  • Are you smarter than a fifth-grader: KSL Classifieds Edition

    /

    If you don’t know by now, I live in Utah (save the Mormon jokes, heard them all, invented a few of my own) and I LOVE to surf the classified section on KSL (one of our local news outlets).  It’s kind of like a local craigslist but heavier on the bandwidth and script errors.  And…

  • Dimes at The Mitty

    /

    The Mitty was held over this past weekend and Friend of Hooniverse P161911 was there with his trusty camera to snap some awesome photos.  And the timing could not have been better for Dime Month.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Hop the jump and check out some of the fine Datsuns on-hand.

  • Hooniverse Asks- What's the Best Cheap Performance Mod?

    /

    We’d all like a little more go in our cars, but a lot of modifications can be wallet-draining exercises. Forced induction, re-calibrated ECM chips and suspension upgrades all cost a king’s ransom. So, what’s a hoon on a budget to do?

  • 2010 Lexus IS250 AWD

    /

    An entry-level luxury sedan should accomplish a few things. It should be fun to drive, provide a taste of what’s in store if you explore deeper into the model lineup, and show the world that you are climbing your respective career ladder. You may wish this were not the case but we live in a materialistic…

  • The new DMC: Sorcery of a Different Sort

    /

    Quick!  If I say “DMC”, you say “12”, right?   It’s forever been that way since we met those bad, bad, VW-driving Libyans and learned how to defeat them. Well, after viewing the following video, the acronym “DMC” is going to have to fight more than Libyans for it to solely mean “DeLorean Motor Company”.   Apparently…

    Sleepers are cool, and Fox-body sleepers are especially cool, because they’re also cheap, easy to build and surprisingly competent.

  • A Mitsubishi L300 Plumbers Van that tears up the Strip……

    /

    Remember the diminutive Mitsubishi L300 Forward Control Van? When it was first introduced it only came with the 4G32 1.6L four cylinder engine. While mostly reliable, it was no powerhouse. The little power-plant that can’t had been replaced in this van, and the video is awesome. How awesome? Make the jump….

  • Last Call- The Generation Gap Edition

    /

    As we flip the giant hourglass over in anticipation of a spankin’ new year, it’s a good opportunity to contemplate where we fit in the annals of history (annals, Charles, annals). It’s also nice to know that as long as there’s been cars, there’ve been douchebags to drive them. Happy new year everybody. Stay out…

    For most of the period between the end World War II and the Late Malaise Era, the full-size, body-on-frame (or primitive unibody), live-rear-axle, V8-powered sedan was the standard, middle-of-the-mainstream American motor vehicle.
